suit yourself but most print houses have their own published profiles.

it can be handled by any number of hardware/software solutions. doing this by hand is nearly impossible. spiders come to mind. what you want to do is CALIBRATE (google this) all your stuff.... your monitor, your printers, your scanners. that way you are always WYSIWYG.

first things first.... the picture... what's wrong with it? not a damn thing! why didn't it get a lot of play? that's a social issue. one thing i've done (mostly because of the snowdonia photo) is make you one of my favorite artists. that way i will get an e-mail when you post and thereby make sure to look at it.

second things second.... i am a practicing architect so i'm used to the idea of artistic work being received critically. i remember architecture school where the whole idea of the 'jury' system was to tear a design to pieces. i've come away with a whole different idea. I DON'T THINK WE LEARN BY OUR MISTAKES... WE LEARN BY SEEING AND IMITATING SUCESS TO FIND OUR OWN SUCCESS.

this is how it works for me..... and why i have favorite artists. when i see something by someone else which pleases me i try to figure out how they did it.... if i can't figure it out i e-mail them and ask. you'd be suprised how cooperative the people here are. talking about how you should sharpen more or less or crop more or less would be lost on me! (i think it's basically bullshit anyway) but seeing something andrea has done or made as her comment might set me off onto something good.

see ya soon.... and keep up the good work.
